Bonsai Kitten

The message below is another variant of the Bonsai Kitten
urban legend:

This was basically a joke website
originaly created by some MIT grad students, but large numbers of people took
it at face value and assumed it was real. There are a number of variants of
this e-mail/rumour.

Hi Friends and Family,
I find this HARD to even imagine - but then again, there are some crazy
beings (should I dare call them HUMAN?) in this world. Please sign this
and forward to all you know.
Love and hugs to all, Renee' and Mel

In New York there is a Japanese who sells "bonsai-kittens". Sounds like fun
huh? NOT! These animals are squeezed into a bottle.

Their urine and faeces are removed through probes. They feed them with a kind of tube. They feed
them chemicals to keep their bones soft and flexible so the kittens grow into the shape of the bottle. The animals will stay
their as long as they live. They can't walk or move or wash themselves. Bonsai-kittens are becoming a fashion in
New York and Asia.
